I was a 29 year old mother of three who had spent eleven years with my love. I was widowed. This diary begins five years after his death. I hope to capture the memories of this journey. The lessons. The joy. The sadness. The humor. The faith. The hope.

AverageGalGoingGreen - Thanks! While some feel concerned upon reading... us widows... go.. yep! That's just the way it is... we put on a smile and push through another day... knowing the bad days don't last and good days always come! :)

Tricialw3528 - You make me want to break out in singing and dance! Do you ever wish life could be like a musical?? I know that no one would want to hear me sing... but sometimes I just feel like singing and dancing! :) Ya know... I don't think we give enough credit to the lyrics of that song. So thanks Tricialw3528 for making me read them!

Put one foot in front of the otherAnd soon you’ll be walking cross the floorPut one foot in front of the otherAnd soon you’ll be walking out the door

You never will get where you’re goingIf you never get up on your feetCome on, there’s a good tail wind blowingA fast walking man is hard to beat

Put one foot in front of the otherAnd soon you’ll be walking cross the floorPut one foot in front of the otherAnd soon you’ll be walking out the door

If you want to change your directionIf your time of life is at handWell don’t be the rule be the exceptionA good way to start is to stand

Put one foot in front of the otherAnd soon you’ll be walking cross the floorPut one foot in front of the otherAnd soon you’ll be walking out the door

If I want to change the reflectionI see in the mirror each mornYou mean that it's just my electionTo vote for a chance to be reborn
